From Firewalls to Fence Lines: Bridging IT and Physical Security

The security community is broad and the strategic approach to physical security is often siloed. In today’s climate, IT security needs to takes a holistic approach to threat vectors. If a data center examines cyber threats, then don’t overlook physical security. The perimeter of a data center location must be secure to avoid compromise.

Presenter:

Griff is trained as a Canadian Infantry Officer and is a graduate of the Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy. After a two-year stint as a Strategic Policy Analyst at the Treasury Board Secretariat in Ottawa, he moved to London where he completed a Master’s Degree at the LSE. Unable to find “real” work, he got into software development as a Scrum Master, leading the development of a web based application. This experience fostered an interest in cybersecurity, and Griff went on to a boutique start-up providing application security to Fortune 500 companies. Frustrated by the disconnect between technologies and poor analysis within cyber security, Griff founded cyber defense firm Damrod Analysis in 2017. He is London based, where he and his wife are expecting their first child shortly.

What have we learned from 2017's biggest breaches and how will we deal with 2018's emerging threats? Attempting to look both backward and forward over the cyber landscape, Peter Wood will review lessons learned and apply them to the evolving threatscape.

As organizations continue to ramp-up their migration to cloud-based environments, they will need to account for the associated security and control risks. There are hidden dangers and blind spots that arise through the use of virtualization technology in the data center. These hidden dangers and blind spots become more prevalent as business-critical applications are increasingly deployed on the public cloud. This is a problem considering that an organization’s operations are dependent on a cloud environment that inherently has a huge visibility gap.

Many are now making the necessary changes to keep data secure in the cloud. This talk will focus on how to pragmatically accomplish cloud security through increased emphasis on cloud network visibility and cloud access security brokers. Enterprises that can properly implement appropriate cloud network visibility and cloud access security brokers will experience a third fewer security failures. Learn about practical steps and tools that you can use for accomplishing cloud security in your organization.

Cloud computing is an increasingly vital element of information security. It’s used to protect sensitive data; for identity and access management; for network security and to aid with incident response. However it’s not without it’s own set of risks and has been hit in the past with significant and newsworthy breaches.

Join this interactive Q&A panel with top cloud and security experts as they discuss the future of the cloud and considerations to take for protecting sensitive data when it's held in the Cloud.

If your processing and data is in the cloud, how can you deliver assurance, compliance and governance? How do you find the flaws and soft spots that criminals will exploit? From browser to database, through human factors and end points, this presentation will take a threat-based approach to securing the cloud.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) adds more and more devices to the digital fold every day, organizations of all sizes are recognizing the IoT's potential to improve business processes and, ultimately, accelerate growth.

Meanwhile, the number and variety of IoT solutions has expanded exponentially, creating real challenges. Chief among them: the urgent need for a secure IoT model for performing common tasks such as sensing, processing, storing information, and communicating. But developing such a model involves overcoming numerous hurdles.

Of course, there are multiple ways of looking at the IoT. For instance, the system view divides the IoT into blocks, such as connected things, gateways, network services, and cloud services, while the business view consists of platform, connectivity, business model, and applications. But one common thread connects all these views: security is paramount

IoT applications and devices is the next wave of technology, but security is a big concern. This webinar will explain the convergence of IoT and Blockchain technology.

The South West Regional Cyber Crime Unit are involved in fighting cyber crime along with other national and international law enforcement agencies.

As such they see certain traits, methodologies and vulnerabilities over and over again. Lisa Forte, the Cyber Protect Officer for the Unit, will be explaining how businesses should adapt their thinking to "see what the hackers see" to better defend themselves against the threat she sees every day.

Lisa will also be talking about the importance of planning and war gaming out cyber attack scenarios. The businesses that have a plan are the businesses that survive to tell the tale. Lisa will be using real life cases that the Cyber Crime Unit have dealt with to highlight how quickly things can go wrong as well as providing some simple steps businesses can apply to reduce their vulnerability.

Speaker bio:

Lisa Forte is the Cyber Protection Officer for the South West Police Cyber Crime Unit. Her role involves helping businesses of all shapes and sizes defend against the ever growing cyber threat. Prior to working in the Cyber Crime Unit Lisa worked in intelligence for Counter Terrorism agencies in the UK.

Join this interactive webinar presentation with Bart Parys, Threat Intelligence Analyst at PwC to learn more about:
- The history of ransomware
- How it came to be, how it works and its purpose
- How you can protect yourself and your organisation from this threat.

This presentation will focus not only on technology, but also the human factor in ransomware protection.

About the Presenter
Bart is a lead researcher in PwC's cyber threat intelligence team, responsible for tracking cyber threat actors, their latest toolsets and methodologies. He has particular familiarity with ransomware, crimeware and any other malware and malware analysis in general.

2017 was a bumper year for Ransomware; with WannaCry & notPetya grabbing headlines around the world and instilling fear in the hearts of security professionals around the globe.

With GDPR regulations on the horizon and potentially huge fines for badly protected and breached data, security professionals need to improve their defensive stature and ensure that their organisation's data is fully protected from end to end.

This roundtable discussion will discuss how to best protect your data so if it falls into the wrong hands, you won't end up on the front of the worlds' papers!

There are many challenges for data privacy legislation within a boundary-less cloud computing and World Wide Web environment. Despite its importance, there is limited research around data privacy law gaps and alignment, and the legal side of the security ecosystem seems to constantly be playing catch-up.

Cloud as the enabler of Internet of Things (IoT) and data analytics, the incorporation of cloud computing is critical for the successful implementation of these leading-edge technologies. Countries and organizations moving towards Industry 4.0 are highly dependent on cloud computing, as it is the basis for this revolutionary transition. However, complications and confusion arising from regulations (or lack thereof) surrounding cloud usage hinder cloud adoption.

During this webcast, we will discuss some of the findings from the CSA “State of Cloud Adoption in Asia Pacific (APAC) 2017” report and examine the availability and affordability of cloud computing in the APAC region.

Let's look at a practical model that has tangible meaning for practitioners, based on the Attack Lifecycle, and encompassing modern security capabilities to drive the outcome of not suffering any business impact resulting from a breach.

We are excited to bring you an updated version of our hugely popular webinar, "Petya, notPetya or Goldeneye - The Lies, the Truth and What's Coming Next". Traditional ransomware, for the want of a better word, is boring and truthfully a fairly opportunistic way to make money. Guess what, criminal gangs don't believe in opportunistic attacks that may make them money. They want a certain assurance of success and importantly, they want big bucks.

Modern ransomware is going to be able to deliver this and more to anyone who can pay top dollar.

Join global CISO and cybersecurity expert, Amar Singh, as he shares his insights and experience on the murky world of cyber crime and ransomware and how you can be better prepared to manage this growing threat.

Fraud detection is a classic adversarial analytics challenge: As soon as an automated system successfully learns to stop one scheme, fraudsters move on to attack another way. Each scheme requires looking for different signals (i.e. features) to catch; is relatively rare (one in millions for finance or e-commerce); and may take months to investigate a single case (in healthcare or tax, for example) – making quality training data scarce.

This talk will cover a code walk-through, the key lessons learned while building such real-world software systems over the past few years. We'll look for fraud signals in public email datasets, using IPython and popular open-source libraries (scikit-learn, statsmodel, nltk, etc.) for data science and Apache Spark as the compute engine for scalable parallel processing.

David will iteratively build a machine-learned hybrid model – combining features from different data sources and algorithmic approaches, to catch diverse aspects of suspect behavior:

Apache Spark is used to run these models at scale – in batch mode for model training and with Spark Streaming for production use. We’ll discuss the data model, computation, and feedback workflows, as well as some tools and libraries built on top of the open-source components to enable faster experimentation, optimization, and productization of the models.

Nicola Franchetto will discuss in a practical and business oriented way, the new provisions of the GDPR and how the PLA Code of Conduct supports compliance with the forthcoming EU Data Protection Legislation. More precisely, Franchetto will highlight the true privacy compliance “game changers” introduced by the GDPR and offer the audience practical inputs on how to set up a sound and effective corporate Data Protection Compliance Programme, which will also include having a PLA in place with Cloud Service Providers.

- InnoSec is the winner of the EU commission Horizon 2020 grant based on its innovation in GDPR and cyber risk -

GDPR is an urgent issue that has companies scrambling to be compliant by May of 2018. Any organization that processes EU citizen data is in scope and the penalties are severe.

Alignment with the requirements can reduce the chances of triggering a Data Protection Authority (DPA) to investigate a company’s privacy practices after the GDPR takes effect in May 2018. DPAs can impose a fine on companies of up to 4% of annual global revenues for egregious violations of the GDPR. Member states can also add to these fines. The Netherlands, for instance, has more than doubled its own fining capacity to 10% of annual revenues. European privacy advocates are pressuring DPAs to fully exercise these new powers after May 2018.To manage this risk, multinationals should have a means to demonstrate alignment with the GDPR requirements and communication of this program with DPAs that have jurisdiction over their major European operations.

InnoSec’s GDPR solution provides privacy impact and risk assessments which measure the confidentiality and integrity of the system and the risk associated to it meeting articles 1,2, 5, 32, 35 and 36. Additionally, we provide a readiness gap analysis for managing, planning and budgeting for GDPR.

Most e-commerce, educational and multi-national organizations process EU citizen data and are in scope for GDPR. Moreover, most organizations are not ready according to Gartner and his means the race to the finish line requires as much automation as you can afford. InnoSec provides a means for companies to save money and time with their GDPR assessment and gap analysis offering.. Our GDPR offering automates the assessment process and provides a gap analysis readiness feature, that also ensures that organizations can plan, budget and manage their GDPR program.
